Let me put it in terms of recruits making it to the NFL.

North LA = Louisiana South LA = Texas

There is far more population in the South so you're going to have more depth as far as teams that are good and talent. Per capita though, the North is much better. Look for the North to get even stronger with the Shale boom. Shreveport/Bossier has exploded an you're seeing that reflect on the field.

South has more schools also, talent is spread around more. In NOLA talent is spread all over and there are quite a few 4A and lower schools. Say Karr and Walker were both closed and 1 large school was opened in Algiers, there would be unreal talent at that school....still would need coaching and discipline.

Nola has more schools because it is a bigger metro area.... per capita number of schools vs number of students... therefore athletes is the same....

I agree with this. I also feel that the schools in North LA seem to be better coached in most cases. We dont rely on one talented player to win it for us as much. I could be completely wrong on this, but thats just how I have always viewed it.

Y'all at LSU Baseball camp today? I'm at Disney, but heard my nephew had a great day yesterday. Coach Davis came and talked to his guardians for a while after he hit. Thought he was a freshman, was shocked when he was told he's in 7th.

You sure as hell did. I gotta give it to ya, when it comes to LHSAA, you know your stuff.

I hope the Lions can pull it off. I know we cant win the title, but its always nice to keep playing and get that experience. I never made it past the second round thanks to Ruston, Evangel, and West Monroe.
